Activist and citizen journalist William Gude, better known as StreetsLA, joins me to expose the hidden corruption shaping Los Angeles — from backroom police union deals to the Scientology machine operating just blocks from our homes. This one's personal. We talk about the potholes, the politics, the homelessness shell game, and what it’s like living in the middle of it all while filming the chaos daily. If you think the city’s broken, wait until you hear who’s cashing in on it.
